Boring climb that doesn't really turn into a climb.
The climb on the map starts even before the village of Entraigues. For the first few kilometres, the climb is nothing but a nice bit of cycling on false flat. Only in the last two km come the hairpin turns and you feel like you are climbing. It never gets steep.
A nice little café in La Désert, though.
The descent is clear but does not get any faster. Good tarmac and little traffic though.
If you want to warm up for the Alp d'Huez, name Col d'Ordon.
Saaie klim die niet echt een klim wordt.
De klim op de kaart start al voor het dorpje Entraigues. De klim is de eerste kilometers niets anders dan een mooi stukje fietsen op vals plat. Pas de laatste twee km komen de haarspeldbochten en heb je het gevoel aan het klimmen te zijn. Steil wordt het nooit.
Wel een tof cafeetje in La Désert.
Afdaling is overzichtelijk maar wil maar niet snel worden. Wel goed asfalt en weinig verkeer.
Als je warm wil draaien voor de Alp d’Huez, naam dan Col d’Ordon.
